Common Air Conditioning Problems We Solve

Our experienced technicians have seen it all. We arrive ready to tackle a wide range of AC issues, ensuring a precise diagnosis and lasting repair. If you are experiencing any of the following problems, it's time to call in the professionals:

  • AC Blowing Warm Air: One of the most common complaints, this can stem from several issues, including low refrigerant levels, a dirty air filter, or a malfunctioning compressor.
  • Strange Noises or Vibrations: Banging, clanking, or squealing sounds often indicate a loose part, a failing motor, or debris in the unit. Ignoring these noises can lead to more significant damage.
  • Unit Fails to Turn On: This could be a simple tripped breaker or a more complex problem with the thermostat, wiring, or the unit's internal components.
  • Frequent Cycling: If your AC turns on and off constantly, it might be improperly sized, have a clogged filter, or be experiencing thermostat issues, leading to inefficient cooling and higher energy bills.
  • Water Leaks or Puddles: Water pooling around your indoor or outdoor unit is a sign of a clogged condensate drain line or a frozen evaporator coil, which requires immediate attention to prevent water damage.
  • Unpleasant Odors: Musty smells can indicate mold or mildew growth within your ductwork or unit, while a burning smell could point to a serious electrical problem.

AC Repair vs. Replacement: Making an Informed Decision

One of the biggest questions homeowners face is whether to repair an aging air conditioner or invest in a new one. We believe in empowering our clients with honest advice to make the best financial decision for their home. We’ll help you weigh the critical factors.

A helpful guideline many in the industry use is the "$5,000 Rule." To apply it, simply multiply the age of your AC unit by the estimated cost of the repair. If the total exceeds $5,000, replacement is often the more financially sound option over the long term.

Beyond this rule, consider these other crucial factors:

  • Age of the Unit: Most air conditioners have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this age, frequent repairs may become a recurring expense.
  • Frequency of Breakdowns: If you find yourself calling for repairs multiple times a year, the cumulative cost can quickly add up, making a new, reliable system a better investment.
  • Energy Efficiency (SEER Rating): Older units are significantly less efficient than modern systems. A new, high-SEER unit can drastically lower your monthly utility bills, helping to offset the initial installation cost.
  • Cost and Type of Repair: Some repairs are more significant than others. A minor fix like a capacitor replacement is cost-effective. However, the most expensive part to fix is typically the compressor. If your compressor fails on an older unit, replacement is almost always the recommended course of action.
  • Refrigerant Type: Older systems often use R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to environmental concerns. This makes it more expensive and harder to find. Upgrading to a new system that uses modern R-410A refrigerant is a more sustainable choice.

Our technicians will provide a thorough assessment of your system and give you a clear, honest recommendation based on its condition and your budget, never pressuring you into a decision.
